Is it bad that I'm actually more interested in the Weather Resistant lens? I have this nice, weather-sealed K200D, but no weather-sealed lenses to go with it!]]>May 18th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/
also why they always pack lens like 18-55 instead of very useful 18-105?]]>May 18th 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/(price from Amazon)

DA* 16-50mm/2.8 $650
DA* 50-135mm/2.8 $750
DA* 60-250mm/4 $1400

DA*200mm/2.8 $850
DA*300mm/4 $1080


I think it's a CHEAP price for weather sealed lenses.
Compare it with other brand and you'll be surprised how cheap these lenses are.
I can get a complete Weather Sealed K20D & DA16-50 to shoot anywhere in the rain / snow for just less than $1350 (700+650).

So far no other camera can come close to that price and completely WEATHER SEALED.
Last time I checked Canon / Nikon will cost me close to $4000 for a weather sealed camera + lens. Yes they are FF, but how many of us can afford $4000 ? :)]]>May 18th 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/]]>May 18th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/

K-7 + some awesome Pentax primes = great travel camera.]]>May 18th 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/
Reasons for joy 1. faster FPS 2. Improved AF system (this is probably more important 3. Improved sensor 4. HD video (nice, but unsure how much I will use this 5. full prism 6. Built to make the K10/K20 fell like a Canon Rebel (oh you know its cheap, Canonphiles)

Still wondering 1.Price anyone? 2.How sealed is this badboy? 3.Will the world take a look, or will this be Creative Zen of the DSLR world to Nikon/Canon's ipod? 4.What is status of the relationship of Hoya/Pentax with Samsung?]]>May 18th 2009 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/
And, does the fact that this is the top of the Pentax lineup, and that the company has fully embraced APS for its lenses, do you take that as a negative for the Pentax lineup? I have been a Pentaxian since I was 10, and look at this camera once I feel the need to upgrade my K10D, eventhough many of my coworkers have Nikons like the D300 (The 5.2 fps and improved AF system certainly makes this a lot easier to deal with), but I am biased. Would someone else feel the value Pentax brings overcomes that misnomer that all professionals use either Nikon or Canon (gues same question could be asked about SOny and its updates too)]]>May 18th 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 19th 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/ an integrated HDR mode

Just hope it still allows the user to manually adjust white balance settings like on the k10 - cannot find where a Nikon D300 would allow that....]]>May 18th 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/May 18th 2009 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/more-pentax-k-7-details-leak-out-ahead-of-launch/
